ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 22, 2017
The Bradens are a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series.
Tempest Braden adores her family and her small hometown, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be confining. At almost thirty, having watched most of her siblings find true love, she’s anxious to experience her own happily ever after, and the move to Pleasant Hill, Maryland, is just the change she needs. When she rents a room from ruggedly handsome, and closed-off, artist Nash Morgan and his adorable son, Phillip, she thinks she’s found a little slice of heaven on the outskirts of town, where she can concentrate on building her business. That is, if she can ignore the undeniable heat between her and the sinfully hot single father.
When Nash bought his farmette, he had one goal in mind—to provide a loving, stable home for his son. He never imagined he’d be raising Phillip alone, or renting out a room to keep their heads above water. Then again, he never imagined losing his brother, or spending two years sailing around the world with parents who seemed to forget one son was still alive.
Sparks fly from the moment Tempest moves in, and her positive energy and inquisitive nature brings new life into Nash and Phillip’s quiet, confined world. For the first time in years, Nash wants to let a woman into his world, but while his loss made him stronger, that strength came at a price, leaving him walled off and wary of opening his heart again.

REVIEW:
Whisper of Love by Melissa Foster is the 5th book in The Bradens of Peaceful Harbor, MD series. This is a spinoff and actually book #17 of the Bradens, and book #36 of Love in Bloom series. Melissa is a prolific author who writes so many books, it is hard to keep up with her; especially when I do read a lot of books. I did fall a little behind on the Bradens, and I will have to find time to catch up. Whisper of Love was a fantastic sweet romance that had us emotionally invested in the characters from the start.
Tempest Braden moves to Pleasant Hill, Md to start her own business, and decides to find a place to live, since her cousin is a night owl , keeping her up all night. She meets her new landlord, Nash Morgan, and his adorable precious 3 year old son, Philip. We never had a chance to decide if we liked Nash and Philip, as we fell just as hard as Tempest. What a romance that Melissa Foster has given us. So wonderful, with so many emotional and heartwarming moments that had us either laughing or happy tears. So very well done.
Nash has taken care of Philip since his than girlfriend left after giving birth to Philip. Nash loves his son so much, that he has sheltered him and even cut himself off from the outer world. Once Tempest moves in, she will change both of their lives forever. She will teach Nash how to allow Philip to make friends, go to school and learn to be more outgoing and free. Tempest will also help Nash trust to let go of his son enough to allow him to be surround by wonderful people and to open his heart and live again. Then he gets to meet the Braden family (very large family), which gives him a chance to see what a family is like. It was wonderful to watch how quickly Tempest and Nash fall in love, and how she helps him let go of the past and allow him to believe in their future. I loved every moment of this story. I will say that I rarely find myself in tears, but Melissa, you pulled me totally in and the tears did fall during that show. Wow If you enjoy pure romances, then you can never go wrong with Melissa Foster. Whisper of Love was one of the best romances I have read this year, and I have enjoyed quite a few.

Crushing on Love (Love in Bloom, The Bradens of Peaceful Harbor #4)
Steve Johnson is living his life’s passion watching over the Colorado Mountains as a ranger and wildlife consultant. But his peaceful life is upended when overzealous and insanely beautiful Shannon Braden flits back into his life after returning from a brief trip home to Maryland. He thought his attraction to her was under control—after all, she’s only in Colorado temporarily, and he doesn’t do casual affairs.
Shannon’s return to Colorado has as much to do with the game of cat and mouse she and Steve have been playing as it does the data she’s been hired to collect. But despite her efforts to explore the undeniable heat simmering between them, Steve’s intent on keeping his distance.
When a ranch abutting the national park goes up for sale, Steve will do whatever it takes to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. And when all his attempts fail, he’s left with no alternative but to follow Shannon’s guidance into the online world he abhors in order to raise the funds. The more time they spend together, the deeper their attraction becomes, and a game of cat and mouse turns into an unstoppable connection. But when Shannon’s assignment comes to an end, will it mean an end to them, too?
